CORR Pro-4 Rounds 3 and 4 | Primm, NV

Greaves Delivers a Solid Win in Pro-4 CORR at Monster Bash in the Nevada Desert

Primm, NV (May 17, 2008) - - The weather was hot and the racing was even hotter as BF Goodrich shod Johnny Greaves put the Monster Energy Potawatomi Toyota Tundra Pro-4 at the top of the podium for the first time in the 2008 season here in CORR round 3. Greaves out maneuvered a very fast Rick Huseman to take the win.

On Sunday, Greaves was hit hard on the first lap and was unable to finish the race after a front row qualifying position.

"It's great to be back in the winner's circle again for the fans and sponsors who came out to support us. I ran a little less air pressure in my BF Goodrich tires and it seemed to have paid-off," stated a happy Greaves from the podium. "Fox Shox has really worked hard to get my new Tundra set up well for this kind of track and it paid off this weekend."

Greaves started in the 7th position after the mandatory inversion by CORR officials and worked his way through the pack in classic Greaves style that his fans have grown accustomed to. Adrian Cenni had the early lead until Douglas made his move on the lead. Douglas was fast on Saturday, but not fast enough to hold off Greaves Tundra as Greaves made the pass on the 5th lap. Rick Huseman worked his way to second by the time the mandatory caution came out and the stage was set for a Toyota Shoot-out in the desert heat. As the green flag flew, Huseman made a hard charge in turn three but spun-out, giving Greaves the breathing room he needed to seal the victory.

CORR Pro-2 Round 3 and 4 | Primm, NV

Greaves Makes a Believer Out of the Naysayers with Strong Pro-2 Performance in Primm

Primm, NV (May 17, 2008) - Johnny Greaves had a very strong showing in CORR Round 3 and 4 in Primm, Nevada with some blistering qualifying times and impressive finishes in both days of racing against CORR’s elite drivers with his new Monster Energy Potatwatomi Toyota Pro-2 truck. Las Vegas odds makers had Greaves at an 8 to 1 long shot on Saturday. However after watching this machine in action, Sunday the odds makers had him almost the favorite at 2 to 1.

On Saturday, Greaves put everyone on notice that he was not to be discounted when he set the fastest practice times of the day. He had to qualify on a muddy track and was unable to repeat the feat during qualifying but was still able to start on the first row, due to CORR inverting the starting positions. Greaves led the race until he spun-out in turn three on the second lap. After that he put the new Tundra in forward motion and climbed his way into 5th position to end the race.

On Sunday, Greaves set the fasted qualifying lap time and was set to be on the pole until CORR inverted the top 8 starting positions, giving Greaves a start on the 5th row. Through a "slugfest" of a race, Johnny continued to gain ground and finished 4th, finishing a solid weekend of racing.

"I am really proud of where we are with the development of the new Pro-2," stated Greaves. "TRD has really stepped-up and given me a great motor to work with and I knew it was just a matter of time before we have her on the podium for a win. This week I really got banged up in a few turns and did not come out the way we wanted but that is going to happen in short-course racing we just have to win more that we loose in that regard. Getting some top lap-times in shows we have the speed and the equipment to run out front and I intend on doing just that next race in Pomona."
